    The Great Rishi Sunak Swindle

    The Great Rishi Sunak Swindle
    Were we all conned by Calm, Collected, Competent Sunak? Have oil, cars, migration and woke-bashing revealed him to be the most right-wing PM since Margaret Thatcher? We look at the real Rishi who was unveiled last week, and how he’ll govern in the year (?) he’s got left. Plus, rent controls: a great fix for our housing hell or totally impractical? And in the Extra Bit, tat’s entertainment. We look at political merchandise. Joining Dorian Lynskey are Hannah Fearn, Geri Scott of The Times and special guest Oli Dugmore, Head of Politics at PoliticsJOE.  • “Sunak’s trying to be all men to all people… and for a man who trades on authenticity that’s not a good look” – Geri Scott • “He comes across as calm even though he holds exactly the same views as the most extreme right-wingers.” – Hannah Fearn • “You’re looking at a gold medal in mental gymnastics if you think that burning more fossil fuels will bring us closer to net zero.” – Oli Dugmore • “The climate isn’t a liberal agenda any more. It’s a central facet of modern politics.” – Hannah Fearn Presented by Dorian Lynskey with Hannah Fearn and Geri Scott. Audio producer: Alex Rees. Producer: Chris Jones. Art: James Parrett.

    TPP487: Evictions, arrears & rent controls - what the Renters Reforms mean for you

    TPP487: Evictions, arrears & rent controls - what the Renters Reforms mean for you

    How will the new white paper affect landlords? 

    This has got to be the most anticipated piece of legislation that landlords have been waiting for, FOR YEARS and it’s finally here. 

    The government have laid out their proposals for the Renters Reform in their latest white paper, and it’s completely transformed landlord/tenant relationships forever. 

    With news on notice periods, arrears, evictions, rent controls and so much more, we’re surprised at how little coverage this huge update has received. 

    Now, it’s a very long document, but we’ve read it and we’re going to summarise everything you need to know in today’s episode. 

    There’s A LOT to cover as this report is going to completely shake up the industry. 

    In the news

    There’s a lot going on in the political world right now, including a new Prime Minister on the horizon, but that’s not the only important change we’re seeing right now. 

    The UK government has appointed a new housing minister... again. 

    It’s not the first time we’ve seen a reshuffle in the cabinet, and we doubt it’ll be the last. But what do Rob & Rob think about new housing minister Marcus Jones? 

    Hub Extra

    If you couldn’t tell, we LOVE a good podcast, and you can never have too many to listen to. 

    We’ve recommended this one before, but previously Rob & Rob have had to move it off their ‘must-listen’ list as the episodes were hours long and, let’s be honest, who’s got time for that?  

    But now The Tim Ferriss Show has brought out “Monthly Recaps”, it’s slipped right back on the radar! 

    All the best bits from the month have been condensed into a shorter format so you can skip the waffle and still get all the golden nuggets for the month. 

    Let’s get social 

    We’d love to hear what you think of this week’s Property Podcast over on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. You might even have a topic you’d like us to cover in the future - if so, pop us a message on social and we’ll see what we can do. 

    Make sure you’ve liked and subscribed to our YouTube channel where we upload new content every week!

    TPP351: Who should property investors vote for in the general election?

    TPP351: Who should property investors vote for in the general election?

    This week’s episode of The Property Podcast is a pretty important one. As you should know by now, next week is the general election, and it’s kind of a big deal. 

    The manifestos have been flying around all over the place with the parties promising this, that and the other. And to be honest, it can get quite confusing. 

    So what do each of the party policies mean for property investors? Well, that’s exactly what Rob & Rob are going to dive into and dissect in today’s episode. Sit back, relax and take notes as the guys look into each of the following policies:

    • Conservative
    • Labour
    • Lib Dems
    • Green Party 

    It will certainly be one of the more important podcast episodes we’ve done this year and it will definitely help if you’re more confused than ever on who to vote for. 

     

    This week for Hub Extra, Rob B has a book recommendation. ‘How to Be Like Walt: Capturing the Disney Magic Every Day of Your Life’. Not only does it tell the story of Walt Disney and his journey of how he created the Disney brand, but you’ll learn so much more! 

    There are sections that discuss religious views throughout the book, which some people took offence to, so you might want to skip over these bits. But Rob B connected to the story on both a personal and business level, and even got some inspiration from it - maybe it’ll lift your spirits too.
